Decided it's time for an upgrade. Hoping to spend around $1000nz (around $840 US). I currently have a fender frontman 25r which I think I've screwed from pushing it too hard. I play in a couple bands. One which plays originals kind of like Queens of the stone age, Arctic monkeys, the strokes etc but I also play in a cover band which plays all sorts. I normally use a boss multi effects pedal. (Gt3)

Id like something with enough power to play inside bars and stuff but also outside in a beer garden or something.

Dude I have the AC30 and play pretty much the same stuff. It goes right from "Whatever people say I am..." growly to "Humbug" weird, does all the strokes sounds, and will take on just about anything QOTSA could throw at it too, especially with a little push from the right distortion pedal.
